Taking up a serious expression towards the end of our conversation, he explained: “I don’t know, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained bespeak a trilogy. “As different as they are, there is a companion piece quality. There might very well be a third one. I just don’t know what it is yet.”

It’s not too difficult to see what he’s talking about, the two films being violent, stylized period pieces with a subtext of social injustice. And that’s not to mention actor Christoph Waltz, who has major roles in both.

My personal take on this new bit of information? I think we should heed Tarantino’s words before delving into wild speculation about what the final film in this trilogy will be about: ”I just don’t know what it is yet.” If the man himself doesn’t even know what his next move is, then we sure as hell don’t.

DjangoUnchained.org is an unofficial fan site about Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained. We launched four days after the film was first announced in May 2011, and spent the next 18 months reporting on the film's progress up until its premiere on Christmas Day 2012. This site now serves as an archive of Django Unchained's development.
